Hi ladies! I hope everyone is having a
wonderful morning so far. I have a
little item to share with you. Recently
my DS who is 25 months and still
nursing, started nursing HIS baby. It's
really wonderful to see that I am
passing on something very important to
him and he's picking it up and acting
like it's the most normal thing ever. He
even carries his baby in a sling. It's
very sweet. |

So thank you all for nursing your
babies, or planning on nursing future
children. Applause for you all! |

Noel, that's cute that he nurses his
babies too. My daughter often tandem
nurses her babes. And this was before I
was tandem nursing her and her sister.
:P |

12:02:16 |
Host_Housepoet |
That is wonderful. |

It's really great that our kids are see
that breastfeeding is normal and they
will pass that on to the people they
marry and their kids as well |

I'll likely be tandem nursing in a few
more months :) I doubt Jane will wean
before then, at least, I hope she won't.
I want to nurse until at least 2 |

I was afraid Eva would wean before the
baby was born, but she kept on going,
even when there was nothing there. Now
it's hard because she wants to nurse as
much (if not more) than the baby. |

Definately important for the dads
support. I don't know what I'd do if
their father pushed formula or didn't
find breastfeeding that important. |

Well, I am really glad that Tucson is
protecting breastfeeding. I hope the
rest of the state follows suit. I lived
in Az, and never had a problem
breastfeeding in public, but it'd still
be nice for a mom to know she has every
right to take care of her chil |

state law happen |

follow suit |
